Guard With a Knife

you?

"Shooting guard??"

Joe Johnson was not the kind of arrogant person, but he still raised his eyebrows at the moment, thinking that Snoopy was joking with himself.

Chris Duhon quickly brought the ball upfield and passed the ball to Doug in the first place.

Joe Johnson stood in front of Snoopy with open arms.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

left! right! left! right!

He watched Snoopy make this fast and neat change of direction dribble back and forth, and the range and speed of the change of direction became faster and faster, the whole person looked like a constantly swaying elf.

This even gave him a feeling of facing Iverson to some extent.

Although Snoopy's center of gravity is not as low as that of peak Iverson, the change of rhythm is even weirder.

He has to be passive and make quick picks because you don't know when he's going to snap into action.

And while he kept moving his feet to adjust his defensive posture.

Suddenly... bang!

Duge's basketball suddenly hit the left side of his body, and he subconsciously turned his head... Phew!

A sound of wind galloped violently from his right side.

Although the explosive power and impact are not as good as Iverson.

However, this trick was too much to distract him. When he turned around, the Duke Dog had already rushed into the free throw line with the ball... He went all the way, because Mike Woodson had already explained that he would rather let him rush to the basket than let him complete the pass halfway.

Atlanta's wings faithfully carried out the order.

So they watched Snoopy go straight into the penalty area and jumped high.

In the case of Snoopy's quick jump, El Horford took a quick step forward and made an emergency lift to block with both hands. He was like a mountain lying directly in front of the Duke Dog, and there was no room for him to throw.

But...a scene that no one expected happened.

Snoopy actually slid sideways slightly, and his body made an inelegant pull in midair, and then he actually fought back in the air like Kobe Bryant and dialed the basketball back... This is also a first-class forward guard Things a rocker would do.

But now... it happened to Snoopy, does he have this ability?

swish!

The basketball fell into the net.

Mike Woodson, who hugged his hands in the shape of a "cardinal" on the sidelines, was dumbfounded: What did I see? I actually saw the Duke dog complete a pull-bar change-hand layup under the basket? How come you got in?

"Oh ho ho! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!! Snoopy, who is notoriously incapable of scoring, made a Kobe-style layup. His pull bar was stiff, but... the moment he changed hands for a layup was great, he The touch is as smooth as silk. Obviously, he is the last trump card of the Knicks!!"

Barkley, who was still a little wilted, was so excited with this magical goal that he almost jumped up from the commentary booth.

TNT is replaying footage of Doug's offense, from the time he confuses Joe Johnson with a quick change of direction while passing the... man the ball past Joe Johnson, to the time he faces Al Horford's defense head-on and pulls the bar Pull the basketball back into the frame with the hand.

"Honestly speaking, his way of breaking through made me think of Allen Iverson,

The way he scores is a bit like Kobe Bryant. ’ Earl Johnson frowned.

"Oh. Earl. It's not like that at all. If it was Allen Iverson, he wouldn't swing that long at all. With Iverson's speed, explosiveness and speed, he only needs three swings at most and one acceleration. Can completely throw the opponent away. In fact, Snoopy took a very tricky pass because he couldn't face the defense. And his last layup, I think he is 100,000 different from the black mamba Eight thousand miles, there is no sense of beauty at all, it is more of luck.”

Kenny Smith said disapprovingly.

boom!

Joe Johnson made a shot in the frontcourt, and David Lee protected the rebound and quickly handed it to Doug.

Doug charged forward again with the ball. He used Jeffries' cross screen to drive into the penalty area in a straight line from beyond the three-point line. Marvin Williams adopted the same defensive posture as Horford last round. He was more worried Snoopy's quick toss on the move.

But...Dug's solution is another one.

He completed a very reluctant fold in the air, and after avoiding Williams' interception, he put the ball into the net with his left hand!

This is another extremely difficult layup.

Although his folding is far from that of the same rookie Derrick Rose, but... the goal is scored!

Mike Woodson's expression was already very embarrassed. He asked the players to do this, and he wanted the two insiders to take the initiative to destroy Snoopy's quick throw. But...God knows that this kid can actually put the basketball into the basket after such difficult dodge moves as pulling the rod and folding.

This greatly exceeded Mike Woodson's expectations.

Now he is a little anxious, and his anxiety comes from the fact that he has to overthrow the established tactics he did before the game. That is, he found that if he followed the isolation strategy that the Magic did with James, Doug could very well carve out a winning path for the Knicks around the rim.

But...if the wing defense is added, he will pass the ball to the outside again. Although the Knicks' shooters are not top-level, but...give them open, there is no guarantee that they will not shoot the basket.

When he looked embarrassed, Snoopy looked straight at him, with a mocking smile on his face. "Coach Woodson, you seem to have made a stupid misjudgment on something. When a player who never likes to speak in the media suddenly gives advice to other teams in the public media, what you should do is to be more vigilant. Instead of copying his ideas. Trying to 'kill the opponent's moves' is a bit naive and ridiculous."

"Oh, that's right. If you can't complete the tactical adjustment quickly, then...all your complacency before the game, all your grievances and complaints will become a laughing stock, and will be with you for life."

Doug's tone was very relaxed.

He doesn't mind selling anxiety at this point, making Mike Woodson a little more nervous.

Mike Woodson's face was livid, and he stared at the boy: "Are you talking trash to me?"

"No, sir. This is a kind reminder, and it's fine if you understand it as 'last advice'."

With that said, Doug quickly ran to the half-court defense.

He followed closely to the left and right of Joe Johnson, who scored with a big turnaround jumper.

Turning his head around, Doug once again entered the restricted area.

It's still Horford's defense, and it's still a backhand layup after pulling the bar.

Score three consecutive baskets.

beep!

Mike Woodson had to request a timeout.

The whole world knows that Woodson is not a manager who is good at reacting on the spot. In fact, the quality he is praised most by the media is his willingness to be friends with his team and his willingness to listen to the voices of young players.

But now, he finds that it was a wrong decision to listen to the suggestions of his players before the game. Snoopy is too cunning, he said those words on purpose, he was planning for a long time, he seemed to have expected that he would use his own way to deal with him, he was too scary!

Mike Woodson scratched his scalp, and he felt his cerebral cortex twitching. This feeling of being treated as a plaything is not comfortable at all.

He thought about it, and finally made a decision: strengthen the defense inside the penalty area, and he cannot be allowed to continue to get whatever he wants at the basket. At the same time...still isolating his passing and not being able to link him with his teammates. Let him shoot jumpers in the middle and long distances! !

He quickly made a targeted deployment. He believed that although this move would give David Lee some offensive opportunities, it was better than Snoopy's unscrupulous drive to the basket to score. Moreover, isn't Snoopy's biggest shortcoming just that his mid-range and long-range shooting is terrible?

After drawing the tactics, he was slightly relieved.

At the same time, Kenny Smith in the commentary is also giving his opinion: "Since Snoopy showed a good ability to finish at the basket tonight, why not push him to the middle and long distance? Solve the Knicks There are too many ways to worry about it at all.”

His tone was light.

But at this moment, none of them knew that this was the real trap. Doug's advice to Orlando was from the heart. At that time, he really hoped that the Magic would create a miracle from the bottom of his heart. At that time, he didn't think that his ability to finish at the basket would improve so quickly.

But now, he decided to use this thing to set up a real trap: solve the battle in the middle distance in the way of shooting guard!

That's why he deliberately said that to Mike Woodson, deliberately forcing him to make tactical changes.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

The game continues.

Mike Bibby executed the first shot back from a timeout, but instead of stabilizing his jumper, his jumper bounced off the rim, and Doug pulled off the rebound.

Then he directly held the ball across the half, and when he reached the frontcourt, Joe Johnson immediately made a targeted defense.

When Doug forced a breakthrough to the free throw line, Horford quickly came up from another help defense.

boom!

Duge slammed the ball, turned his body suddenly, and then shot a jumper straight back... This is a very, very unreasonable and extremely difficult shooting choice.

In fact, even Kobe Bryant doesn't shoot like that anymore.

However... Swish!

The basketball falls into the net.

The Phillips Arena, which had shouted 'defense', fell silent for an instant. They never dreamed that... Snoopy hit such an unreasonable and arrogant shot.

Is this still Snoopy?

Joe Johnson looked at Doug in shock.

"Kobe...Bryant!!!!!!"

Charles Barkley has already roared in the commentary booth. Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to him, was inexplicably uncomfortable by his roar. Before that, he had been declaring that the Knicks wanted to win unless Kobe Bryant came in person. But now... the slap in the face came so fast, Snoopy just finished a tough, unreasonable, Kobe-style goal under the double defense so abruptly! !

Although his technical movements are far less smooth than the Black Mamba, but... the goal is scored.

"Dare to shoot like this and score goals. Maybe we should call our Duke Mr. Mamba." Earl Johnson complained, secretly poking at Kobe Bryant: "No wonder before Rumor has it that the Kobe Bryant team wants Snoopy, who doesn't have a signature shoe, to play in the black Mamba Venom version."

"It's just a fluke!"

Kenny Smith's words became less and less emboldened.

At the same time, the morale of the Knicks was burning with Doug's consecutive difficult goals, and their man-to-man defense exploded with incredible energy.

boom!

Maurice Evans' shot was directly interfered by Jeffries, the rebound was picked off strongly by David Lee, and then assisted Dug.

Doug sprints up the field.

Facing Joe Johnson's pursuit while on the move, he didn't care whether his teammates rushed into the three-point line ahead of time, and he didn't even care that Mike Bibby was coming from the other side.

He made an emergency stop one step away from the three-point line, and made a direct shot... Whoa!

The basketball fell into the net again.

Snoopy raised his hands high, extremely arrogant! !

Atlanta was completely stunned!

They originally thought that in the fourth quarter, the Eagles would slaughter the Knicks in a devastating manner, and they were even mentally prepared not to accept the knife during garbage time.

But now... things are far from what they imagined.

Snoopy fired five shots in a row! The morale of the Knicks instantly penetrated Changhong!

The point difference expanded directly from two points to double digits.

The Eagles fans who were about to open their hands to welcome the victory were depressed. It was difficult for them to be as excited as they were at the beginning of the game, and even the boos sounded so feeble.

"This is your fair game!"

"Take out your strength."

"Don't make me look down on you!!"

Meanwhile, Snoopy was yelling at Mike Woodson on the sidelines.

He didn't have to restrain his emotions at all, and he wasn't afraid to offend this group of Atlanta people. Since these people had already said all their ugly words before the game, let's do it now! poverty! dagger! See.

"Come on!"

Doug's roar vented the long-suppressed aggrieved.

Mike Woodson's face was livid and he gritted his teeth.

The referee walked over and gave Doug a technical foul. He hoped that Doug would calm down.

But this penalty did not affect the momentum of the Knicks, but raised morale again.

Duge held his head high, his blood was burning all over him now. The only thing he wanted to do was to kill the Atlanta Hawks on the spot with one punch!

He wants every Atlantan in this arena to leave full of disappointment, and he wants those who swear that the Knicks will lose swallow their feces!

So, when Joe Johnson stepped up to the free throw line for a technical free throw, he turned around and gave every Knick high-five vigorously.

At this time, the Knicks bench was already boiling.

Everyone is not afraid.

Although there are 20,000 enemies in Phillips Arena.

But now, led by Doug, they have raised the flames in their hearts, and they want to burn the arrogant eagle to nothing!

"The momentum of the Knicks was completely ignited. Snoopy, who seldom roared on the court, burst out with energy that the Eagles could not bear! If the Eagles can't find a countermeasure in the next 3 minutes, then...they Will accept a fiasco!"

Charles Barkley made a clear prediction: "Snoopy will never be soft tonight, he will shoot all the bullets!!"

Swish!

Joe Johnson makes a technical free throw.

But then... bam!

Al Horford rushed to the basket and tried to dunk, but was directly interfered by his senior David Lee.

The white forward who won the McDonald's dunk contest in high school took out the craziest vertical jump of his life, and he almost pressed the basketball directly on the backboard.

After disrupting Horford's dunk, he beat his chest and roared.

And Snoopy hit the ball again, and he rushed forward so abruptly.

Although Evans and Williams flanked at the same time, he took off in their flanks, and sent the basketball out with a backward posture... Whoa!

The basketball pierced the Nets again!

boom! !

The hot shouts from the Knicks bench seemed to melt Phillips Arena!

Even the most exhausted Eddie Curry jumped up.

Before tonight, no one was bullish on the Knicks.

Mike Woodson even vowed to call for a fair game.

So now, I will give you a fair slaughter!

Snapped!

Mike Bibby's pass was intercepted by the mediocre Chris Duhon with a desperate diving dive. Jeffries sprinted with the ball, rushed into the paint, and took off with a fierce posture...Boom!

Dunk happens!

"New York Champion!"

Jeffries thumped his emaciated chest and let out a wild growl.

The New York fans in front of the TV could no longer restrain their passion.

What is Jedi Strikes Back and what is City Lights.

That's it!

The Knicks represent New York better than the brilliant Yankees tonight, they are the real heroes!

In the previous three quarters, every minute and every second, people thought that the Knicks were doing the final battle. When Stephen Marbury and Eddie Curry came off the court to rest, there was even bursts of laughter in the Phillips Arena. They thought the overall situation was settled!

But now, after Snoopy fired six shots in a row, all New York soldiers were inspired to slaughter.

They didn't want to succumb to the people of Atlanta, they just wanted to chop the eagle into eight pieces with one knife.

To his luck, to his favoritism!

I can stand here because of my strength!

Joe Johnson has been trying to prepare for a counterattack, but Doug has always surrounded him firmly. When he made a hard drive to the hoop, ready for a layup to save morale... Bang!

Jeffries' blocks came from behind!

Swish!

Chris Duhon hit a three-pointer in the frontcourt.

crazy!

All crazy!

Mike Woodson requests a final timeout.

He hopes that the Knicks can temporarily end the Knicks' madness, and at the same time he hopes to arouse the players' will to fight.

And yet ... they've said too much disparaging things in the last three quarters, in the last three days, they've said too many things that don't take the Knicks seriously. They looked down on the Knicks from the bottom of their hearts, thinking they were a fluke, and they felt that as long as it was a fair game, they would definitely beat the Knicks to a pulp. Next, they will complete an epic 1:3 lead behind!

but now. Snoopy's angry bullet shattered their poor self-importance, and the Knicks swarmed like bloodthirsty wolves, smelling blood. When the taciturn Jeffries roared like tearing, when the mediocre Chris Duhon used a diving steal to create a counterattack, when the gentle David Lee jumped to the basket with wide-eyed eyes and menacing.

The Eagles players were stunned, their arrogance, pride and will to fight were torn apart. No matter how many times Mike Woodson slapped the tactical board and how deafening remarks he made, it was of no avail.

When the whistle sounded, the game continued.

Knicks was still fiercely raising the butcher knife, and Snoopy was like a crazy wolf, shooting all kinds of unreasonable things. While his scoring streak ended with consecutive strikes, there were more Wolves around him.

This is the reason for the continuous widening of the point difference.

135:96.

39 points of carnage!

When the whistle sounded, the Phillips Arena was already empty. More than 20,000 fans stood up one after another when the massacre was at its peak. Their pride and expectations were all reset to zero at this moment. Tonight they must go to sleep with 'loss and failure' together.

Atlanta's season is over!

Mike Woodson left in a hurry without even a courtesy handshake with Herb Williams. Only the Knicks players were left in the huge away game!

"135:96. Remember this number! This is the fair matchup result that Mike Woodson vowed to emphasize before the game!! Those who claim that the Knicks will lose, those who think that the Knicks are lucky to get to today's experts, commentators You guys. Shut your dirty mouths, please look up to our existence!!"

Facing the camera of TNT, Duge made a loud and clear conclusion.

This made Kenny Smith in the commentary stand on pins and needles, which was an unexpected result for him. He never thought that the people of Atlanta would lose, and what he didn't expect was that it turned out to be a horrible massacre! !

After Doug said this in front of TNT's camera, he didn't even take a shower. He went straight to the post-match press conference in his jersey. He had too much to say tonight!

...
